My favorite Scholarship links, plus tips, and more. Hi to new readers!


Here are a few of my favorite Scholarship postings:



The Top 5 Scholarship Links and Leads 

Don't get Ripped Off Trying to get a Scholarship

My Five Most Popular Postings

And here are some more tips to get your started on your scholarship search.

#1. Register on one or more scholarship sites, like FastWeb or FastAid.

#2. Do your FAFSA form to find out what loans, grants, or scholarships you may qualify for.

#3. Keep an organized list of the places you have applied for grants and scholarships.

#4. Search this site using the box at the left side to find out more links to use.

#5. Go to the About.com sites (below) AND the Dr. Torres' pages and explore.
 
Here are some interesting About.com sites that have scholarship links:
College Apps, Business Majors, U.S. Military, Psychology, College, Gradschool, and Adulted/Continuing Education/Lifelong Learners. Search for more right at the main page.

Tip: most good Scholarship and Grant pages should give FREE advice. Don't pay if you don't have to.  And don't be fooled by fake FAFSA pages or For Profit schools whose credits don't transfer. Do the extra work and research to be sure you are paying for "quality credits."

Hi to new readers and older ones. And good luck finding scholarships, grants and more!

Do I want a scholarship? I would love to GIVE one...

My Scholarship Dreams!
Photo from Villás Galéria és Aukciósház on Wikimedia Commons.













I would love to be able to offer my OWN scholarship to people maybe going back to school or needing some support with that. But until I win the lottery I can't. Darn.

But I do have a Nontraditional Student site, blog, and Yahoo group, and help older students who may be thinking of going back to school, or are already in school.

So this site (the Find Scholarships and Grants blog) helps them, too.

What kind of scholarship would I pick to give away?

I guess either an Art or English scholarship would appeal to me personally. I know that every little bit of money helps, so maybe I will work on getting a grant to do this someday. It is worth looking into!

I could look at people's writing or art portfolios, and select someone with both talent and stick-to-itive-ness.

But for the time being, I write about many different kinds of scholarships here. I hope these links are helpful.

I think people probably have applied with the links here. But so far, I have not applied for any.

Why not?  I guess I think that if I DO win one, then I will need to come up with the REST of the money, then go back to school right away. And I am not sure NOW is the time.

Besides, I can learn a lot just doing my writing (in blogs, for instance) or finishing up some ebooks, AND making some art.There is a lot available on the internet to help, plus in books from the library or from my favorite bookstore in Nashville, McKay's Books.

Are you also thinking of applying for a scholarship? Just search for what kind you are looking for on the pages below OR in this blog. And good luck!
